Maybe nobody can read it?

Sorry mate, why dont you use a spell checker?

In answer to your question it will be the idle control valve.
I recently had idle problems, but i took it to my local mechanic and he sprayed something into it and that was it, seems to be fine now, and i was only there 5mins and he didnt charge me

do you no wer this is located ?

BM08

He took off the air filter tubing, the bit that goes from the air filter to the engine and it was underneath this

spi escort gti

do you mean the black block thing at the side of the carb

Bungle

It's located under the inlet manifold and is a cunt to get at, I've got to do mine again soon as my idle is creeping up more each day

me easya tacking the inlet off ? how mutch are these idel valves are they easy to fit ?

I watched the mechanic, all he did was remove the tubing which took no more than 30 seconds, then he was spraying something down there.

whatever he did worked anyway

well i need do something becouse its getting on my tits

does anyone no what that black box at the right hand side of the carb is for i thort that be the idel contole valve ?

you can get the ISCV off the plasitc inlet without taking anything else off. go from underneath with an 8mm ratchet spanner.

if that doesnt help, try coolant temp sender, only a tenner or so from ford.

Dangerous Malcolm..

There shouldn't be a carb on a GTi.

The ISCV is located under the inlet manifold. You can reach up from underneath fine, it's just time consuming and fiddly. Make sure you get a new seal for reassembly.

the temp sender is that on the top hose pipe near the air box ?

what is the iscv sory not up to date

do i need bie a new 1

or can i wd 40 it ?

Dangerous Malcolm..

The temp sender for the ECU is on top of the thermostat housing. The sensor on the bottom is for the dash.

ISCV stands for Idle Speed Control Valve.

funy you say this becouse since my ideling my temp has been all over the place

so the sencer on top of the thermostat could be my ideling problem ?

becouse when its cold does not do it but soon ass it warms up starts playing up

could this sencer be broke and its telling my e c u my engine still cold so its putting more fuel threw causing it to idel all the time cos it is useing more petrole ?

Dangerous Malcolm..

Sounds more like the ISCV, or an air leak. Then again your MAF or Lambda sensor could be fucked.

iv had a new lamber fited iv disconnected the idel contole valve dtarted to cut out so plug it back in and pickt back up so thats working

if my temp sencer down the 1 on the top of the thermostat will this effect my idel and send my temp gage all over ?

Dangerous Malcolm..

You may get better advice on the FEOC website.

spi escort gti

so do you not no if changeing this sencer would make a diffrence ?

Dangerous Malcolm..

Not for sure, no. The zetec engines have a lot of known problems which can affect idle, so it's basically replace everything yourself or pay someone that knows what they're doing.

Have a look HERE, I found it usefull when I had my Escort.
